There's obviously a lot of missing details in what happened. File sizes do not just arbitrarily change on their own during something like copying a file. Even if it was a compressed file before and you were decompressing it on-the-fly during the copying process, a video file would not be able to change that much in file sizes -- a few MBs maybe, not several GBs like that.
Please confirm you actually comparing the same two files.

When making file size comparisons it's much more revealing to look into the actual size of both files, relying upon used or open disk space of the storage media will always need to also take into account the size of each storage media plus whatever data is residing on both (which must also include things like hidden files and directories).
