Multiple rewrite rules in .htaccess not working

I am trying to make pretty links using .htaccess. I am new to apache and can't really figure out why it is not working.

I have two pages: single_picture.php and single_video.php

Both pages take two arguments : name, and cat_id/category_id

Here are two examples: http://www.unclelol.com/single_picture.php?name=Real-time-images-5&cat_id=13

http://www.unclelol.com/single_video.php?name=football%20fail&category_id=22

And here is my .htaccess:

 Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^pictures/([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)/([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)/?$ /single_picture.php?name=$2&cat_id=$1 
RewriteRule ^videos/([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)/([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)/?$ /single_video.php?name=$2&category_id=$1

Now for reasons unknown . The rewrite for pictures works perfectly:

http://www.unclelol.com/pictures/13/Real-time-images-5/

But the rewrite for videos gives 404 error:

http://www.unclelol.com/videos/22/football%20fail

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Merge your both rules to single:

RewriteRule ^(.+)s(?=/)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /single_$1.php?name=$3&cat_id=$2 [NE,L]

Also remove the pattern ([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+) which will not work for %20 as you have in your video url. Instead use ([^/]+) which matches any character until reaches /.
