new script --> new urls --> what to do with 301

[razz vazz]

Hello,

I recently installed a new script on a domain i run. Together with this script comes a lot of new media/material.

The old script i have been using for 6 years had this url structure --> http://www.domain.com/entry/19067/title-of-entry  

The new script will be using this --> http://www.domain.com/video/title-of-entry-(randomIdNumber).html

The "problem" is that the new script will have a bunch of random id numbers, probably different then the old script.

To be clear, all old material related to the old script will be deleted.

To stick with the example i provided. When i would 301 this http://www.domain.com/entry/19067/title-of-entry   to  http://www.domain.com/video/title-of-entry-19067.html there are 2 things that can happen.

there is no such id (19067) or there is such an id but with different material then what it was before (so also a new title,description etc)


I think its a pain in the ass to configure this properly so i'm gonna ask you guys/girls if its allowed to just 301 ALL URLS FROM OLD SCRIPT to be redirected to homepage.

cheers!
