How to hide the bar at the top of "youtube" even when mouse hovers over it?
I am attempting to embed a youtube video, however, I have not discovered a way to keep the bar at the top from showing when the mouse hovers over it. For my purposes it is important that users are not able to have a direct link back to the original video where they can re-watch the video. The following link gives commands for embed features within youtube:

I have used the controls and disablekb features to limit viewers ability to skip and replay the video, what I need now is to disable the bar which appears at the top of the video.

Answer
This answer no longer works as YouTube has deprecated the showinfo parameter.
You can hide the embedded player's title bar by adding &showinfo=0. You cannot completely remove all the links to the original video. Here is the best you can do
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/videoid?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This code will remove the title bar, YouTube branding in controls, controls (optional, delete controls=0 if you need controls). But a white YouTube logo will be displayed on the video with the video link.
