After 3 days struggling with Ubuntu 9.04 installation over one of our church desktop computer, finally we find the solution. (i'm using Asus P5S-MX SE motherboard which use SIS191 as it's ethernet chipset another computer which use the same chipset and probably get the same problem is Acer Aspire SA90)
The problem begin when i'm choosing to switch our church office desktop to switch to Ubuntu Linux 9.04, the installation going very smooth and everything seems going very well, but when i try to update the package manager... here's come the problem.. strangely the updater just like hangs... it can't get package from the internet... At first i assume that there's a network problem on our church.. but after do some investigation i find out that there's no problem with the network, and finally i try to do some network tools like ping, dig (to find out if there's a problem with my dns) and strangely.. everything just going well (the computer can ping and resolve domain name).
And finally after some reinstallations of Ubuntu 9.04 and some googling - i find out that there's a bug (i don't know if we've to call it a bug or problem with the SIS), the old kernel (2.6 kernel) just can't recognize the SIS191.
There's a solution for this problem on HowtoForge regarding to this problem, but it's just seems to complicated for regular users - so i decided to install some network card to my ubuntu (i'm using TP-Link PCI ethernet card which only cost me 4 bucks) and it's instantly recognized by Ubuntu and after that we do some upgrade to the distro, and viola.. it's just work again and we can remove the network card and use the onboard one.

Magazine for Audio Video on church
Sunday, April 26, 2009
After several checking on what's the best free magazine for church, my choices turn to Worship Facilities and Lighting and Sound America - the first one (Worship Facilities) focus on design, construction, operation and maintenance magazine for today’s house of worship. You guys can subscribe for free at their website - for international user you guys can subscribe from their online subscription form (subscription is free for qualified church), and the other one (Lighting and Sound International) focusing on the entertainment technology industry with intelligence, wit, and professionalism, which is applicable to church audio video technology (i believe most of latest audio video technology targeted on church and congregations nowadays), you guys can also subscribe for free from here.

This works also for audio and picture galleries.
Long Description
DownloadHelper is a tool for web content extraction. Its purpose is to capture video and image files from many sites.
Just surf the Web as you are used to, when DownloadHelper detects it can do something for you, the icon gets animated and a menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item
For instance, if you go to a YouTube page, you'll be able to download the video directly on your file system. It also works with MySpace, Google videos, DailyMotion, Porkolt, iFilm, DreamHost and others.
Since version 3.1, you can setup the extension to automatically convert the downloaded movies to your preferred video format.
When you are on a page containing links to images or movies, you can download some or all of them at once. Moving the mouse over the items in the menu will highlights the links directly in the page to make sure they are the ones you want to pick up.
DownloadHelper also allows you to download files one by one, so that you keep bandwidth to surf for other stuff to download.
To modify your preferences, like changing the download directory, right-click on the icon and choose "Preferences".
When you first install the extension, your browser is redirected to a welcome page with links to a user manual at http://www.downloadhelper.net/manual.php and a faq at http://www.downloadhelper.net/faq.php
This does not change your homepage setting and the welcome page won't appear anymore.
Support can be obtained from http://www.downloadhelper.net/support.php
Works with:
- Firefox: 1.5 – 3.2a1pre
FLV Extract
Extracts video and audio from FLV files without decompressing or recompressing. The video is saved as AVI (H.263/FLV1 and VP6/VP6F) or raw elementary stream (H.264/AVC). The audio is saved as MP3, AAC (with ADTS headers), or WAV (PCM).
NOTE: If you simply want to convert FLV to AVI including audio, the FLV Input Plugin for VirtualDub (see below) is most likely a better choice. FLV Extract currently writes out separate video/audio files which you would have to join. Also, FLV Input Plugin is able to maintain synch in variable framerate videos by inserting drop frames. However, it doesn't yet support H.264 or AAC.
NOTE: The AVIs will not play unless you have the right decoders. ffdshow-tryouts can decode FLV1, VP6F, and H.264; make sure they're enabled in its configuration dialog.
NOTE: The extracted MP3s may appear to have an incorrect duration in your audio player. This is because FLV Extract doesn't generate a VBR header, but the files are perfectly valid nonetheless. To add a VBR header you can load an MP3 in foobar2000, right click on it, go to Utils, and click "Fix VBR MP3 Header".
Changes:
1.4.0 (2008-Nov-16):

Wednesday, January 21, 2009
K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools. Codecs are required to encode and/or decode (play) audio and video.
