XySubFilter PAR compensation setting doesn't seem to be saved

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open XySubFilter Properties
2. Change PAR compensation from Disabled to Accurate size (or really anything 
other than Disabled)
3. Click OK to close the dialog box
4. Open XySubFilter Properties and PAR compensation is reverted to Disabled

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Accurate size-> setting is reverted to Disabled
I don't think it is supposed to reset automatically to disabled, but not sure.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XySubFilter beta version 3.1.0.546

Please provide any additional information below.

The PAR compensation setting is essentially depreciated with XySubFilter, so 
this may be intended behavior, I'll need to double check with our dev.

If you want proper anamorphic video handling for scripts not compensated for 
VSFilter behavior, set "Render Layout Options" on the More tab to "Use AR 
Adjusted Video Size".

Here's something that I found that I don't understand. In the linked sample, 
lines after 7 seconds are affected by both the "PAR compensation" and also "Use 
AR Adjusted Video Size" options, but "PAR compensation" doesn't affect the 
lines before 00:07 though "Use AR Adjusted Video Size" does affect those lines.

The subtitles in this case do not necessarily benefit from being adjusted in 
this case, but it was just something I found when I was trying to find what the 
difference was between the two options. I still don't quite understand them 
though.

(note: if you download only the .ASS file, the video is supposed to be 
something like 720x480 displayed 16:9)

I've attached the most obvious sample I've come across which which shows how 
the "PAR compensation" can fail. 

If you have a DVD and author your subtitle script at 853x480 instead of 720x480 
in Aegisub, enabling the "Use AR Adjusted Video Size" will always display as 
intended, while the limitation of the "PAR compensation" option will break 
certain effects and positioning because the incorrect layout resolution.

> Here's something that I found that I don't understand. 

It behaves the same way with "PAR Compensation" enabled in VSFilter.dll, so 
it's working as intended as far as we are concerned. I'm honestly not very 
familiar with the "PAR Compensation" function, other than basic knowledge that 
its always been a semi-broken hack. This is nothing we've ever modified the 
functionality of in xy-VSFilter.

We have decided to remove the "PAR compensation" function from the next 
XySubFilter release, since "Use AR Adjusted Video Size" now exists as a 
superior replacement for that functionality on anamorphic videos.
