htaccess + FilesMatch

    I want search engine friendly URLs but my webhosting doesn't have mod rewrite.
    So I found something similar called FilesMatch.

    I tried using this code in .htaccess

    <FilesMatch "^video$">
    ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
    Code (markup):
    So I have a page with video.php?artist=xx&title=yy
    If I would use as link on the mainpage: /video/xx/yy it should work, but it doesn't
    I keep getting a 404 when trying.

    /video.php/xx/yy works but I heard search engines don't like that?

    Any ideas?

    I added a RedirectMatch, so visiting /video/artist/title would forward you to /video.php/artist/title
    would this be better for search engine crawling?

    Just move to another host that is not free :)

    If you actually pay for this one (without having apache mod_Rewrite module on) MOVE to another one.
