I tought about that as well, a solution that comes for free with much  
more flexibility. But it also adds slightly more code complexity on  
the user if he only wants the movie not to show when stopped.

If we go with that solution, I think it would be the best that both  
the first frame and the last frame stays since the user can cover the  
movie himself with a different widget if he whiches otherwise.
