TextSub filter: how to set a new style?

[Instant Martian]

Hi guys,
here I am again, hoping someone can give me a little help.
I'm hardsubbing a taiwanese drama using VirtualDubMod.
Problem is that there are already subs (chinese or something like that) encoded into the video.
What I am trying to do is to hide the chinese subs with the new ones.
I am using the TextSub filter with opaque box.
The files are AVIs and the subs I am working with are srt.
It seems impossible to set a "style" according to my needs, so every time I change something into the srt file I have to reset all the options of the TextSub filter.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks.

Nobody?

Use SSA subs instead. All the styles will remain the same even after editing the dialog for spelling or whatever.

Already tried that (Sub Station Alpha 4.08) but for some reason doesn't work (gives me odd output).
