    Hello,

    What is the difference between two? 

    
RewriteRule ^video-(.*)-(.*).htm$ video.php?vid=$1 [L,NC]
    PHP:
    
RewriteRule ^video-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)-(.*).htm$ video.php?vid=$1 [L,NC]
    PHP:
    thanks

    The first one operates on URLs of the format:

    video-xx-xx.htm

    While the second one operates on URLs of the format:

    video-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.htm

    Actually, the way the regexps are written, the first one would really accept any URL that the second one would, while the reverse is not true.

    Both RewriteRules are poorly written.
