File size shrinks after Log and Transfer??

Just curious..
I have Log and Transferred 2 64GB P2 cards in FCP7 that were full (the even wrote over to the second card in my camera)
After I logged and Transferred the MXF to MOV files with FCP I have found that what were 63ish GB sized CONTENTS folders are now 51ish GB sized folders filled with all the MOV files.
I thought maybe they were compressed, but when I compare any single MXF file to its MOV file copy, the MOV file is slightly larger - which was a relief - since I don't want any compression.
But I am curious why the overall folders are smaller after the L&T.

There are other files on the P2 card that might not come over, like ICONs and PROXYS. And if you recorded 8 channels of audio, but only imported 2...that might be it.
