[heisenberg123]

I use Xilisoft Video Convert for converting video files, merging files ect but it uses all my free ram in activity monitor the CPU% says 99 and bounces to 100, is this normal? can i limit how much ram a program can use?

Yes, normal and no, you cannot control how much RAM something uses.

Yes, it's normal. No you can't control/limit the amount the RAM an application uses. OS X sorts that out for you.
