If there are a lot of little files that could be possible.

Files are stored in a certain way using a 'filesystem'. CD's use something called CDFS, and hard drives could use something called FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS. Each has different levels of overhead, and generally speaking, lots of little files results in very different overall file size.

However, I can't imagine that would cause 200 MB of difference.
