Using htaccess to rewrite URL using an ID to a JPG filename

I currently have URLs like this:

/video/245008/245008_00000001.jpg
/video/245008/245008_00000002.jpg
etc.

I need htaccess to rewrite the above urls to be:

/video/245008/245008_1.jpg
/video/245008/245008_2.jpg

But only if the original 00000001.jpg, etc do not exist. Any suggestions?

Try adding these rules to the htaccess file in your document root (the one that has the video directory):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/video/([0-9]+)/\1_0+([1-9][0-9]*)\.jpg$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/video/%1/%1_%2.jpg -f
RewriteRule ^ /video/%1/%1_%2.jpg [L]

The first condition checks that the current request points to a file that doesn't exist. The second condition checks that the request is for something in the video directory, 2 gorups of identical numbers, and underscore with at least one zero following it, then some more numbers. The third condition checks that the new URI points to a file that does exist.
