Based on your other thread, it looks like you've been playing around and installed something or enabled a hidden default to enable the extra menu items. They aren't duplicates. The commands with "..." at the end will ask for confirmation when chosen. The commands without a "..." at the end will not ask for confirmation. You also have two Force Quit items. One brings up the Force Quit window and the other force quits the current active application. Did you install or do something to enable that? If you did, that is your likely culprit.

I just did a quick test and it was VoiceOver that was the culprit.

Me too.

For some reason, Voiceover activated itself out of the blue and the repeating menu items appeared momentarily.

Only recent change in the system was update to newest Safari 3, but that was a while back.

No, this happened when you turned on Voice Over. The QuickTime issue is unrelated. Make sure you have the latest version of Perian if you're using that. The update check is in System Preferences.
