DbgOut14 was created to help debug and understand how DirectDraw was working. It is included in the BugsV1 project.
Data collection is optimized for storage, using a compressed variable-length record format that minimizes the size of the log data. This helps in situations where storage or bandwidth is constrained.
The viewer unpacks the compressed log file and expands it to in-memory arrays and look-up tables. This can take a minute or so when opening very large logs, after which the redraw times are quick.
