I have made a Fortran program thats plot a vector field with gnuplot, I want to make a animation of this. I have managed to print a 1000 pictures with the name framee_000000001.png, framee_000000002.png, framee_000000003.png and so on. Now i want to compile these pictures into a single movie. A user named bibi suggested i should use mencoder and gave me the following code: mencoder mf://frame_%09d.png -mf fps=30 -ovc lavc -o my_video.avi

I want to call on mencoder from Fortran or gnuplot, is this possible? In that case how?

You can use system call which works fairly well depending on platform and compiler. For example you can call from fortran,

call system("mencoder mf://frame_%09d.png -mf fps=30 -ovc lavc -o my_video.avi")
