imagesintime,
It was a good thought but it didn't work. It will still record to both cards. It seems the only solution is to pull one or the other cards and only use the card shooting the format I want.
From what I have been reading recording to both cards slows down the continuous FPS. Now I've got a new question. How much does a slow it down? I'm going to have to do some playing to see if I can figure that out. If it doesn't slow it down much then I may just leave both cards in. I can shoot almost 3000 JPEG's on a 32 gig SD card so space isn't really a problem. I can continue to shoot until one card is full, which is going to always be the CF card shooting raw.
I think it's time to start a new thread and ask about how much shooting both cards slows down the frames per second.
I want to thank everyone who is try to help me here. It's been an interesting discussion.

It works for me. Let's try it by the numbers again. This will be different than before.
1. Insert both formatted cards.
2. With mode dial in PASM mode, press menu button.
3. Go to Set-up 1 (yellow wrench).
4. Select - Record function+card etc.
5. Select - Record function.
6. Select - Record standard. Note this is different than before.
7. While still in Set-up 1.
8. Select Record/playback.
9. Select card 1.
10. Leave menu.
11. Press Q button. It should show two cards. Select card 1.
12. Use the multi-controller to high light the file type area.
13. Set card 1 file type to raw.
14. Close Q menu.
15. Change mode dial to Cx (1, 2,or 3, your choice).
16. Press menu button.
17. Go to Set-up 1 (yellow wrench).
18. Select Record/playback. (Record function+card should say standard).
19. Select card 2.
20. Leave menu.
21. Press Q button. It should show two cards. Select card 2.
22. Use the multi-controller to high light the file type area.
23. Set card 2 file type to the jpeg of your choice.
24. Close Q menu.
25. Mode dial should still be on Cx. Press menu button.
26. Go to Set-up 4 (yellow wrench) - page 332 in your 5dm3 manual.
27. Select Custom shooting mode.
28. Select Register settings.
29. Select the Custom shooting mode - Cx - you used. Press set.
30. Leave menu.
Now you are set-up to shoot raw on one card and jpeg on the other. the only thing you have to remember is if you use a PASM mode to shoot raw be sure you use the Q menu and select card 1. When you use Cx to shoot jpegs be sure you use the Q menu and select card 2.
If you have problems with this, PM me and we'll get on the phone. This does work like you want.
