RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

URI Routing

Considering newstitle as unique:

Go to your route.php file (application/config/routes.php) . Add new route rule as below

$route['rtvnews/news/(:any)'] = 'home/videonews/$1';

in your view file

<a href="<?php echo base_url()."rtvnews/new/".$newstitle; ?>" > News Title</a>

so your url became as below

http://localhost:8080/rtvnews/news/uniquenewstitle  

Your request go to home/vidonews function where you can get your newstitle as parameter.

In your controller.php function will be like

function vidonews($newsTitle){}

Considering id as unique :

Add new route rule as below

$route['rtvnews/news/(:num)'] = 'home/videonews/$1';

In view.php file

<a href="<?php echo base_url()."rtvnews/new/".$newsId; ?>" > News Title</a>

so your url became as below

http://localhost:8080/rtvnews/news/newsId

Now your request go to home/vidonews function where you can get your newsId as parameter. In your controller.php function will be like

function vidonews($newsId){}
