Try again, I think I'm correct in saying that PhotoRec can identify media files by their content (some time since I had to use either),
also there is (I think) a quick scan method and a slow scan which scans entire disk, use that. Do not try to recover in-situ, and choose
to write recovered data to a hard drive. One of them (TestDisk I think) has a drive imaging function, so you can take a snapshot of
entire SD card and write to a file, and do recovery work on that image file.
You are unlikely to find recovery software, either free or commercial that is significantly better than the mentioned utilities.
(Although they may have a nicer interface or GUI)
