  Probably have a PC formatted drive and you’re not exporting at the same format as your timeline. Format it for mac, but not journaled. Use the Disk Utility app in your applications folder.

  If the drive isn’t formatted right, then QT is breaking up the files into 2gig files, with a single reference file that links to those files.

  So you’ve probably got a 1.9 gig DV file, and you’re exporting it as uncompressed, which would make it roughly 5 or 6 times the file size. If you don’t need that (it’s not making the picture any better) then export it qt, and choose current settings, self contained.
