This is not a regression.

I just encountered this issue, and it's not a quicktime problem, it's a trailers.apple.com problem.  The media controls at the bottom of the video are contained in a <div> that also covers the video and captures the pointer. pointer-events:none; on the <div> fixes it (with pointer-events:auto; for it's children so the controls still work).

Dupe of bug 752516
