RewriteRule - remove params keys and keep values in address bar-CodePudding

RewriteEngine ON    
RewriteRule ^video$ video.php [L]

the above line works
example.com/video is interpret as example.com/video.php

now I need example.com/video?id=5&s=lorem-ipsum
to interpret as example.com/video/5/lorem-ipsum - and vice versa

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} video?id=([^\s&] )&s=([^\s&] ) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-] )/([\w-] )/?$ video?id=$1&s=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([\w-] )/([\w-] )/?$ video?/$1/$2 [L,QSA]

doesn't work - in both directions
pls help
