First of all, I'm totally impressed with this plugin! I was able to get movies streamed with very little effort and it handles them with ease.

My issue is a small one. The top few pixels (enough to miss something, about 0.5 cm visually) of the source video are cropped out, so I'm missing a little bit of the video that I created. It doesn't matter the resolution of the video source or the size of the box, there's always a bit of video missing at the top. As far as I can see from Firebug, there is nothing in the main css or divs that would cover the top of the video.

For example, my source movie is 1024x768, and I encode it on the page with
{mov}Loudness War and Peace v5 1024x768 medium|800|600|autoplay{/mov}
This resizes the movie to 800x600, but the top few pixels of the source video are cropped out. Even If my source movie is 800x600 to begin with, I have the same problems. So it's something wrong with the video window that the player creates in relation to the total size of the movie.

If you'd like to see this in action, visit my website:

and run the video. At 1:42 into the movie the text "HEADROOM" (ironic, isn't it!) appears at the top of the video, and there should be about 4 mm. clear area above the top of the letters, but it's cropped off at the very top of the letters instead. Any ideas or suggestions?

I've come to the theory that the controller (play and pause button) is stealing some pixels from the video. I wonder if the php or css code for the plugin could fix this.
