You want to use CryptKeeper in the screencast. It's a gnome applet and uses encfs and fuse. It's dead simple to install and use on a basic ubuntu setup.
Basically you create a folder which can dynamically grow and encrypt it with a password. Once you've mounted the folder with the gnome applet, you use it like a normal folder. I've been using it on my hd and usb drives for a couple of months now without any problems at all. It's not in the repos atm but you can download a deb file for it from getdeb.
