You can play a DVD on a Blue ray player,but you can’t play a blue ray on a DVD player.

No you don’t have to have any converter. You simply could play the DVD in a Blu-Ray player. Blu-Ray is also DVD but with better data storage & better audio & video quality. Think of it as HD-DVD.
Blu-Ray players are backwards compatible with standard DVDs

You don’t need a converter (whatever that would be).
All Blu-ray players will play DVDs (and upconvert the DVD video to pseudo HD) as well as Blu-ray disks (and in most cases, CDs). Blu-ray disks give true 1080p video (and have advanced HD audio sountracks too), while DVD is 480p. Blu-ray also has a wider color range than DVD. However, Blu-ray disks can’t be played on DVD players, and cost more than DVDs.
In essence, Blu-ray is a premium priced, alternative to DVD.
