Hello, I am having a tough time converting my .htaccess rewrite rules  
into Nginx, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here is what I need converting

RewriteEngine on  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_URI} !^/server-info  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_URI} !^/server-status  
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT\_ROOT}%{REQUEST\_URI} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_URI} (._).(gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$  
RewriteRule ^(._) http://%{http\_host}/pictures/no\_picture.jpg

RewriteRule ^video/([-_!~\*'()a-zA-Z0-9]+)-([-_!~\*'()a-zA-Z0-9]+)  
http://%{http\_host}/?L=video.index&id=$2

Thanks
