how to open a .dmg.flv file

I have a macbook pro and I am running os 10.6.1
When i try to open this file it says that
"The document “LimeWireOSX.dmg.flv” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands." then it says "You may need to install additional software to open this type of file."

Any ideas on how to open this file?

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Try removing the .flv from the name. What did you use to download it?

Files with .flv are flash video files. Given that, the .dmg (disk image) part of the name does not make much sense.

You can search Apple's software download site for a stand-alone flash video player from a third party. Apple's applications won't play these files.
