I have a working script like this:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$('.video-thumb img').bind('mouseover',function(){
var new = $(this).attr('src').replace(/default.jpg/,'1.jpg');
$(this).attr('src',new);
}).bind('mouseout',function(){
var default = $(this).attr('src').replace(/[0-9].jpg/,'default.jpg');
$(this).attr('src',default);
});
});
Yeah, you guessed right. It's made to change YouTube's thumbnail on interval. However, I have no idea, how to create the interval. It now changes the thumbnail to 1.jpg, which is another thumbnail, but it should next change the image to 2.jpg in 1 second and so on.
The whole snippet should probably be written from scratch. Advice?
Hope you understood :-D
EDIT: I changed the variable-names from finnish words, I don't use them. Just in this example.

new and default are reserved words in javascript. You cannot use them.
To create an interval you should use setInterval
:
setInterval(function() {
// do something
// ...
}, 1000); // <- 1000ms = 1s
[See it in action]
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var timer, imgsrc, cnt = 0;
$('.video-thumb img').bind('mouseover', function() {
// if there is no timer
if (!timer) {
var $t = $(this);
// get the image src
imgsrc = $t.attr('src').replace('default.jpg','');
// start a new timer
timer = setInterval(function() {
// periodically change the src
$t.attr('src', imgsrc + (cnt+1) + ".jpg");
// and adjust the counter
cnt = ( cnt + 1 ) % 3; // 0, 1, 2
}, 1000); // <- 1000ms = 1s
}
}).bind('mouseout',function() {
// stop rotation
if (timer) {
clearInterval(timer);
timer = null;
}
// set the default img
$(this).attr('src', imgsrc + 'default.jpg');
});
});
You can see my answer working here:

Thanks guys for great answers! (Un)fortunately I already created this via jQuery's Timers-plugin. Here's my working code:
$j(document).ready(function(){
$j('.video-thumb img').bind('mouseover',function(){
var c = 1;
$j(this).everyTime(1000,'interval',function(i){
$j(this).attr('src',$j(this).attr('src').replace(/(default|[0-9]).jpg/,c+'.jpg'));
if(c<3) {
c++;
} else {
c = 1;
}
});
}).bind('mouseout',function(){
$j(this).attr('src',$j(this).attr('src').replace(/(default|[0-9]).jpg/,'default.jpg'));
$j(this).stopTime('interval');
});
});
