If you have Yace, it is not a perfect tool, but it could do most of it
automatically. Missing will be records that were solved very fast (at depth 1).

When solving test-suites, Yace will write some temporary files, that collect
various records of the test-suite - for example those not found. It is a bit
longish to explain all details. You need to convert twice. The line sd 1 sets
search depth to one. The command GUI ChessAc will make move formating use
coordinate notation. So, say you have petv1.epd, you can start yace and type

sd 1
gui chessac
epdt petv1.epd
!copy rh.ci petv1.ci
test petv1.ci
quit

Could also be done (say from a batch) with input redirection. At the end, you
will have a file tmp.epd (besides other files, which you can ignore). It will
contain a the epd records with bm and am in coordinate notation. In that
specific test with petv1, 2 records will be missing, unfortunately. (It was not
designed to do that conversion - it can just be tricked to do most of it ...)
