what's the basic diff? do all 3 automatically display via timestamps?

i've mainly seen SRTs. are SUBs a mac equivalent or something?

srt are just txt files. You can open and view them with any text editor. These will display using whatever font is configured in the media player.

idx & sub (they work in pairs) are a data file (timing info) and a data file of images. These will display using the font used in the images.

I prefer .srt so I can edit them with notepad.

As OddBa11 has pointed out, in most cases SUB are pictures and need and idx file to show them properly, although sometimes are other kind of text subtitles (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtitle_%28captioning%29).
Srt subtitles are easily editable with programs like subtitle edit or subtitle worksop, so you can translate them, correct misspelling or problems of synchronization.

I remember correcting an entire srt once because it was in broken English and I just couldn't take reading it any more. Sub look better but were a pain to correct. What's worse is when you buy a legit DVD and the subs are in shit broken English almost as if they are expecting nobody to use them. Begs the question, why bother putting them on there to begin with. Yes, China and HK distributors I'm pointing the finger at you. I bought an 80s HK action flick, superb transfer, looked glorious but was ruined because the subs were fast as fuck and really poorly written. It was from a top of the line distributor as well, I expect it from shady bootlegs.

I am always constantly correcting .srt files I found on opensubtitles.org and subscene.com for the movies and TV shows I find on the net.

The one that annoys me are the one that use # for every R or @ for every L or % for every S,

AS IF their keyboard is broken and they couldn't get a new keyboard.

i sympathize, but how many times u gonna watch any movie more than ONCE?!

once i've suffered thru a movie once -- subs or no subs -- it's gotta be at least 20 yrs before i'm inclined to have a look again.

they do not KNOW they are in broken english. HKers have a reputation for being bilingual, which is really not appropriate. compared to the english found in singapore or the philippines, HK lags way behind.

india is also a mixed bag, which doesn't bode well for the next 30 years. would be nice if SINGAPORE suddenly became a hotbed of distribution. english rly rly excellent there.

nury vittachi, a UK journalist based in HK, used to publish his annual "worst subtitles list". funny read if u can find it online anywhere. (prolly sumpin similar on the japan-leaning "engrish" websites as well)

btw, i am a native speaker but i still need subtitles! to figure out words like "escadey"....
