rewrite 2 url parameters as directories

I have a WordPress site and on one page we have a dynamic vimeo video embed. We use 2 url parameters to embed the video and set the page title.

We would like to rewrite this url so it appears to be directories instead of parameters

Current URL: /video?id=264243188&title=Testing

Desired URL: /video/264243188/Testing

Current .htaccess:

 # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /video [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=(.*)&title=(.*)
RewriteRule (.*)  /video/%1/%2? [R=301,NE,L]

#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video?id=$1&title=$2 [L]

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>
# END WordPress

You can have the below rewrite rule

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /video [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=(.*)&title=(.*)
RewriteRule (.*)  /video/%1/%2? [R=301,NE,L]

Working example for the same is at .htaccess tester

It redirects http://example.com/video?id=264243188&title=Testing to http://example.com/video/264243188/Testing

And if in case you wanted to convert path to query string you can use the below rewrite rule

RewriteRule ^video/([^/]+)/?([^/]+)/? video?id=$1&title=$2 [R=301,NE,L]
