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!
It is possible using the QT API to set the the playback region for a movie meaning you can cut out portions of a movie so nothing draws there. This is useful for doing picture in a picture where you have a thumbnail version of a movie playing in an upper corner of a larger movie. Since QT isn't trying to draw two movies in the same part of the screen both play back really well. I've played around with this in the eQT external and it works but all of the layering is happening within the player object itself as opposed to layering Rev objects on top of the player. I imagine something similar could be done with the player object and Rev UI objects which would be pretty cool although it would have to take into account the rounded corners of buttons, etc. which is a little trickier.
