Now that I think about it I'm not sure it will work.  Theoretically it 
is pretty easy.  There is a call in the QT API which attaches/detaches 
a movie controller from the actual movie it is playing.  This allows 
you to place the movie controller elsewhere on the screen (above the 
movie, off to the side, etc.)  Two things I don't know though:

1) Will QT make a vertical controller if the width is set to 16 and the 
height is larger?

2) Will modifying the mc controller interfere with how Revolution deals 
with the movie controller?

You can create a custom controller that works vertically if you need 
this type of functionality right away.
