Yes they are compatible. DVI-I carries analouge and digital signal. DVI-D only carries digital. So you can plug a DVI-D Cable from DVI-I to DVI-D.

A DVI-I Cable and Connector will have 4 little pins around the flat horizontal pin. DVI-D does not. You cannot use DVI-D to convert to VGA however you can use DVI-I.
