I've been using the Youtube API to grab thumbnail images of selected videos but I need them to be a little bigger.
I need 4(ish) thumbnails at a decent size, at the moment I can generate these 3 images.

But they are TINY.
I was just wondering if anyone had found a way to generate slightly larger thumbnails like the cover one.

This might just be something that you simply cannot do with the API but it's certainly worth a punt. I'm also open to non-API suggestions no matter how hacky.
Please note: I need all 4 thumbnails to come from the SAME video at set intervals, much like the 3 referenced above
You can use hq before number: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cj6ho1-G6tw/hq3.jpg
As I've seen - you can't use maxres thumbnails with numbers (only maxresdefault.jpg)
