Hey Ron, Right now we don't support private video or password-protected video on blip.tv because of our focus on broadcasting to the public. We try to avoid muddying the waters by adding features that may be more appropriate for other types of video sharing. That said, private video sharing is a planned feature of our pro accounts, which currently are available by invitation only and offer benefits like priority transcoding.
I don't want to commit to a date for private video for pro accounts since it's not part of our core offering, but I'd say you shouldn't expect to see it for at least a month. Your project sounds really cool, and if you don't require absolute privacy you can simply mark your posts as "explicit." This way no one will see your videos unless they explicitly choose to see explicit posts (let's see how many times I can say "explicit" in one sentence). We've found that this is often an excellent substitute for private video.
