Unless you are using something like a gimble just mount the camera in as solid a manner as possible. Most video cameras have image stabilization that helps.

I believe it depends on which type of camera we are talking about (eg: solid state, tape, disk, HD, et. al.), the mount, the material being used, how the camera is attached to the mount and how the mount is attached to the car. Many variables going on. With my camera (mini dv), the padding makes a big difference.
