Buy the DVD

Seriously though, I don't think it's not the sfv file itself that's the video, as noted here. My guess it's a segmented .rar, .ace or .zip archive.

SFV is just like a CUE file, checking all the files are present. Use UnRarX and open the .001 file in it, UnRarX will do the rest.

Apparently, "SFV" stands for "Simple File Verification". It's supposed to make sure that all the files are included and aren't corrupt. Try this app.

The .sfv file holds just a checksum.

Rar archives are usually named either .rar, .r00, .r01, .r02 ... or have endings like partXX.rar so this might be something else.

It's also possible that it's just a split avi, mpg or whatever file, in this case do in the terminal: "cat *.0?? > moviename".
