Video Player / Recording Suggestion

Often when I try to code along the videos, the video player navigation often blocks the current content that's being typed out (unless the video author puts what they're editing in the center of the screen). I often have to pause and unpause as I duplicate or do my own variation of what's being taught. It's difficult to follow along sometimes as I have to wait for the bar to disappear in order to see the code I want to see.

Could there be a feature implemented to hide the video bar to the right corner? clicking would still pause the video, but to bring up the navigation you'd have to click the right corner, so it doesn't interfere with the content? If not, could there be a recording standard set for future videos to be aware of it?

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming/building-social-features-in-ruby-on-rails/adding-state/setting-up-the-state-machine is what I'm following now.

I solved it in Chrome using an extension called Stylebot, to activate the User Applied to pages then I made a rule like this,

.mejs-container .mejs-controls {
    background: rgba(56,64,71,0.98);
    bottom: 0px;
    right: 30px;
    width: auto;
    height: 40px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    -ms-border-radius: 5px;
    -o-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 0 1px inset,rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 5px 5px;
    -moz-box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 0 1px inset,rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 0 1px inset,rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 0 5px 5px;
    opacity: 0.4;
}
