I've used DiskDrill which worked fine for MLV files. Though admittedly I was only able to recover about 80-90% of footage which was surprising to me but again it's better than nothing, right?

I have used disk drill but there is not MLV, at least into VIDEO folder types. Maybe is inside other folder and I have not seen it? Thanks!

Maybe PhotoRec is the better option?

I just tried and it did recovered MLV's but not all worked.
