    Im starting to learn about CPU usage and memory so Ive been monitoring my processes.
    I noticed that while compressing a file with Ripit (which uses Handbrake) my CPU usage was reading 100%

    Is that normal for file compressing?

    Yes, as RipIt transcodes the MPEG-2 encoded video DVD footage to another format and codec (MPEG-4 variant), which is highly CPU intensive.
