TestDisk 7.0 doesn't have undelete option

I tried using TestDisk 7.0 to undelete a few videos I made a week ago, but the undelete option doesn't show up.
I tried the list/copy option instead but it doesn't seem to work either. They just show up as a 10 second display of other random image files.

What's the filesystem? I think undelete isn't available for every one. And the files were deleted a week ago? Has the drive been used daily since then? And what's the 10 second display mean, it automatically disappears? Doesn't sound normal

the filesystem is ext4, it's been used daily. What I meant is it shows up as a video that displays a random image file for 10 seconds for some, and is either not showing up at all when I try to play them or I need permissions for them.

Best chance to undelete files is immediately after they were deleted, after every write there's another chance to overwrite the wanted data, after days (especially as a system drive) it's much more likely the data was overwritten.
And you mean you could and did undelete / recover some files? But it sounds like they're partially corrupted, perhaps due to the daily use, not much you can do about that now except look to backups.
Needing root/sudo permissions to view files is common, just use sudo or chown or chmod.
