DVD Player Controller Auto-hide

The controller in DVD Player used to auto-hide when I'd play a DVD full screen. It no longer hides unless I manually tell it to. Before it used to fade away, then come back if I moved the cursor. What happened?

Mac Mini (2009) 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 4GB RAM, 320 GB Drive, 20" Cinema Display, MiniStack & more…

the cursor will only fade away if it's not placed over any controller.
the controller will only fade away if the cursor is not over the controller.

if your still having trouble:
Check to make sure the setting is still enabled:
open "DVD Player"
go to the menu bar
click on the "DVD Player" menu
chose preferences
when the preferences menu pops up
click on full screen
make sure "HIde controller if inactive" is checked
the defaults seconds should be "10"
then click on windows
under windows make sure "fade controller when hiding" is checked
then click ok

if your still having trouble
