You need to have a multicast router or enable IGMP querier on one of your switches.  For IGMP snooping to work 
something on the network has to be sending out PIM hellos or IGMP query messages.  Without that the switch will flood 
multicast traffic to all ports

"The reason for this issue is that IGMP snooping is not really supported on any Catalyst platform without an mrouter."

Note if you go the router method ALL multicast traffic will be sent to the router, so don't expect it to work if you 
have 5Gbps of multicast connected to a router with a 1Gbps interface.

If all your multicast traffic is on the same layer2 network then the IGMP querier feature should work fine.
