Hi,
  Rather than decresing ttl at the source, you might need to lower ttl under
each interface on each hop. But this might come up with another problem
especially at the border router.

r6(config-if)#ip multicast ttl-threshold ?
  <0-255> TTL threshold

By default, it has set to 0. So it suppose to pass all the multicast packet.
Check link below for detail.
