QuickTime controller not visible in embedded movies

I found the following code (that's supposed to increase the height for the player controls) in common.inc at line 252:

function theme_video_play_quicktime($element) {
//Increase the height to accommodate the player controls on the bottom.
$video = file_create_url($element['#item']['filepath']);
$width = isset($element['#item']['data']['width']) ? $element['#item']['data']['width'] : '';
$height = isset($element['#item']['data']['height']) ? $element['#item']['data']['height'] : '';
$width = empty($width) ? '350px' : $width .'px';
$height = empty($height) ? '285px' : $height .'px';

But it doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm using Acquia Marina as my theme. Could this be the issue?

Any ideas how I can just add 16px to the height? I did it in Firebug and it looks great. I just need to put it in the code somewhere. Again, I'm a video editor, not a programmer, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Respectfully, I don't understand this. Are you saying that I should go into the content type and change the player to a ratio other than 4:3 or 16:9? And if so, wouldn't it be a lower (not higher) ratio of width to height to get the controller to show up?

I went in there and tried a ratio of 3.9:3 and it gave me an error. Does this mean it has to be an integer ratio? If so, there's no way to get just the 16 additional pixels to show up in the height. I also tried 640:496 (the correct ratio), and it wouldn't allow me to input that many characters.

Forgive me if I'm just confused, but this seems like a very difficult way to compensate for the controller. Why can't the code just add 16 pixels to the height once the width and height calculations are done? Is there any way I can do that?

Great module otherwise, and thanks for all your hard work.

Okay, I found that a ratio of 80:62 works perfectly. It is the same as halving 640:496 three times, and it had to be two digit numbers because of the field limitations.

Thanks for helping me figure this out.
