3750 multicast flood in source vlan

I have issue with following configuration:

two ports in same vlan. Multicast traffic received over one of interfaces got flooded to second one.

Sample config:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/20
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,15
switchport mode trunk
!
interface GigabitEthernet2/0/20
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,15
switchport mode trunk
!
interface Vlan10
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252
ip pim sparse-dense-mode
no ip mroute-cache
!

Here I receive multicast data over g2/0/20 and it gets flooded out of g1/0/20. Though all receivers are in separate vlans, not in vlan10. IGMP snooping is on and sh ip igmp membership doesn't list any of these interfaces.

Thanks.

Your expectation is only true for access ports. Multicasts are always flooded over trunk interfaces.

Reason for this is there may be other receivers on downstream switches behind g1/0/20.

Thanks.... Can you point me to appropriate cisco docs?

An what you can advise me in doing here? The problem is that I need to receive multicast from both interfaces in vlan 10 but for different groups and I don't want to have all data I receive over one link to get flooded to another one. Also seems I have no way to get rid of trunk here...
