Check your export settings and play around with them.

What is your input video? and What are you exporting it as?

eg. NTSC/PAL, Frame rates, Frame Size, and format etc...

The best quality video files will be either .mov or .avi formats. make sure all the other settings match your input video so that you don't compress the video when exporting. hope this helps.

It probably has to do with quality and codec settings. Pick uncompressed (or a lossless codec) during your intermediate editing, then for the final video, pick a lossy codec (I recommend something like MPEG-4/DivX/Xvid, or H.264 if you have it), then play with the settings until you get an appropriate quality/filesize tradeoff. Also be careful with things like resizing and de-interlacing. If done improperly, quality can suffer.
