Photo Rec versus Disk Drill

I did a scan in Disk Drill and without doing any recovery, the application returns about 30 video files and 600 JPGs in various levels of recoverability. Videos are all MOV files,

I search the same 32 GB SD car with Photorec (Windows) and it finds nothing in first pass. 2nd pass just commenced as I started writing this note, and returned an FTYP MOV file. Should I expect similar results as I got in Disk Drill? I selected just the MOV/Mpeg file types. Its the videos I am looking at getting.

There is a file structure on the SD card. Would the DOS route enable me to pinpoint the directory where files deleted?

Also, read a response referring to a manual. Is there a link for the manual?

I don't know. I don't a crystal ball.

If so, why don't you just copy its content?
Would the DOS route
I don't know what "DOS route" is!
enable me to pinpoint the directory where files deleted?
I don't know what you want to do. You did not bother to specifiy what your problem is and what you want do using TestDisk or Photorec.
Also, read a response referring to a manual. Is there a link for the manual?
Your TestDisk download came with a PDF file included.
Furthermore, when looking at the website cgsecurity.org there is a lot of documentation in various languages.
