Basically it's a text file that contains the subtitling for the movie.
Place it in the same folder and your media player should pick it up on its own and display the subtitling.

edit: erm. Maybe not all players use them automatically. What proagram do you use?

Well, you may have to point it to the .sub file. There's a subtitles option under "play".
