ok i made another post and i got pointed to the Rewrite API

however, when i do print_r($_GET) on the page, it echos an empty array

heres my code in my themes function.php file using the Rewrite API:

    function add_video_rewrite() {
        add_rewrite_tag("%video_id%", '([^/]*)');
        add_rewrite_tag("%video_src%", '([^/]*)');
        add_rewrite_tag("%video_title%", '([^/]*)');
        add_rewrite_rule('^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)', 'video/?video_id=$matches[1]&video_src=$matches[2]&video_title=$matches[3]', 'bottom');
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'add_video_rewrite' );

im trying to get this to work for an url like this: 

mysite.com/video/102230/MTAyMjMw/FC+Emmen+v+AGOVV+ApeldoornAyMjEx/

but when i visit that URL, my GET variables are coming up empty

it works perfect when i visit this url:

mysite.com/video/?video_id=102230&video_title=FC+Emmen+v+AGOVV+Apeldoorn&video_src=MTAyMjMw
