>1gb of recovered data from 256MB memory card

Hi,
I was recently asked to recover data from a formatted 256MB memory card. The card had been used in a Canon IXUS 500 camera. The data was easily recovered using R-Studio software and it included 21 avi video files amounting to 1GB of data. There were also sixty eight jpg image files amounting to 52.6MB of data.
I gave the recovered files back to their owner on a DVD as the files simply wouldn't have fitted back onto the memory card.
So how on earth can over 1GB of data be recovered from a 256MB memory card?
A different brand of data recovery software produced much the same results. Presumably the data is recovered in an uncompressed state. Anyone happen to know any more about what was going on?
Many thanks
