Too Much jQuery Loading

Hey fellas and ladies...

I have a video tutorial blog located here: http://wikispacetutorials.com. I have a number of different plugins to help with the functionality of the blog, and after testing it a bit within Firebug's YSlow tool, I think I found jQuery being loaded separately for a lot of those plugins.

I would like to find a way to access one jQuery file from the Google API for each of those plugins, instead of loading the same jQuery min file separately for each of the plugins, which I imagine is causing the site to load a bit slower. I'm assuming that's the best way for each of the plugins to work, if they are all pulling in the default jQuery file.

I also am wanting to launch a membership club, of which I've already found a really great plugin for. However, I'd like to use the JW-FLV player plugin for Wordpress. I've been using Vimeo, and simply uploading my .MOV files from Screenflow to the Vimeo site, and then just embedding the Vimeo code within each tutorial post. But since the Vimeo video can be accessed via the web, and won't be protected, I'll need to use the JW Player.

So, I'm having problems with 1) converting my .MOV files to .FLA or .SWF to be used with the JWPlayer, since (as I understand it), those 2 file types are the only ones that can be used with the Player. And 2) getting the video to look really crisp within the JWPlayer.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated...
