This is normal. The damaged parts of your virtual drive virtual drive will convert to zero size on output. The other common reason of file size decrease is when some of features of the original virtual drive are not supported and therefore absent from the recovered virtual drive. Demo-recovered virtual drive is smaller because it mostly consists of demo placeholders than actual data.
