How to ignore URL at the end of URL

I have a URL

original: https://www.example.com/video/12345/name-of-the-video/

Sometimes users or web crawlers write the URL differently:

https://www.example.com/video/12345/name-of-the-video/65485/

https://www.example.com/video/12345/

https://www.example.com/12345/

I want all 3 URLs to redirect (forward) to the original:

https://www.example.com/video/12345/name-of-the-video/

My current htaccess rule is:

RewriteRule ^video/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)/$      view_video.php?id=$1&dir=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^video/([0-9]+)/$              view_video.php?id=$1&dir=fake [L,QSA]
.htaccess ubuntu url mod-rewrite apache
