When you play a movie in Quicktime X, the large black bar has all the controls on it. You know the one that covers part of the movie art the bottom of the screen of the movie. And as you know the black control bar dissapears when you are playing the movie but comes back when the movie is paused or you mouse over the movie.
I want the control bar to appear when I mouse over the movie. And it does so no issue there.
But when I pause the movie the black control bar appears there. And that's so annoying. Is there a terminal command or work around to have the black control bar appear when I mouse over a paused movie only and not there when I do not mouse over a paused movie.
Why I ask this is I've wanted to take a screenshot of a frame in a movie from time to time so I pause the movie abd the stinkin black control bar is in the rode. So I had to use quicktime 7 to get a nice screen shot. But if I could do this in quicktime X, I'd be really happy.
So does anyone know how to fix this really annoying issue in quicktime X?

[edit] I did a little bit of googling and found these 2 terminal commands.
defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGUIVisibilityNeverAutoshow 1defaults write
com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGUIVisibilityNeverAutohide 1defaults write
But when I try to use them in terminal I get this error:
defaults[591:903] Unexpected argument write; leaving defaults unchanged.
So I dunno what's up. If those 2 termnial commands are a solution to my question or not I really don't know.
