Nothing actually...

To be able to "overlay" controls on a quicktime player you will have to
set its "alwaysbuffer" to true!

But then the playback is ehmm.. extremely jerky...
To put it straight: You can't do that! Sorry :-(

I am no techie, but i think QT "claims" that part of the screen where
the video is playing* and nothing else can "bother" it...
* and does refresh that part on its own!
