Can't you just create a new user and a special group for him and limit
access privileges to that precise folder only to that user/group? That
way only "the mysterious application" would be able to access them. It's
perfect and very simple solution.
Storing especially video files (that are usually quite big) in a blob is
not very efficient and would kill data base engine if someone would like
to open big movie.
Need more info. Is it online/web/server application? What's its main
purpose.
