In VirtualDub there is a video effect for that. I'd tell you how to do it, but I'm on my Mom's computer which doesn't have VirtualDub installed. And... I'm going to be away all day so I still won't be able to do it later. 
I believe it's somewhere under Video>Effects. Maybe.
Maybe youtubez has some tutorials did ya check?
How is HitFilm's Motion Blur?
I've used VirtualDub before.
It's under the Video tab, then Filters, you then click "Add," then click Motion Blur.
Ah, thanks Pritchard.
As someone who tries to avoid effects in post-production as much as possible, my favourite way to add motion blur is to just move whatever the moving thing is really fast and take the frame(s) while it's moving. That's what I do whenever the camera swings round really fast (swing the camera round while mashing the "take frame" button) and I believe that's what Quigibo did for the cars at the start of the classic People Come in. Pizzas Come Out.
Well Hazzat, that is a good idea and it probably looks better than any post-production FX, but it might be hard to do that if you were doing for example a dude running. Impossible, I would think.
EDIT: PS Hazzat I like your avatar lol
How is HitFilm's Motion Blur?
Might be a late reply but I've tried that yesterday and the day before and I gotta say I liked the motion blur in Hitfilm Ultimate 1.1. IMO it's really good.
I open every effect frame in photoshop, and apply a motion blur filter there.
I do it in Gimp.
But sometimes I do it whilst the frame is being taken which looks better, but is harder to do.
How do you do it in gimp
By the way... does Adobe Premiere Elements 10 has motion blur effect?
I apply motion blur in sony vegas with a plugin called real smart motion blur.
ForlornCreature's right. Real Smart Motion Blur seems to be the most popular (though not the cheapest) way of applying motion blur to videos. Anyways, before I had After Effects, I used Photoshop for all effects, including motion blur. To apply motion blur in Photoshop, use the polygonal lasso tool to outline the item you'd like to blur (note that the border doesn't have to be perfect). Right click inside your border and click "New Layer from Cut" or something like that. Once you've done that, apply the motion blur to your new layer. I believe it was Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. Edit the settings to your liking. Then, once you've done that, duplicate the layer a few times until you cannot see the hole you made in your background image.
If you'd like to see an example of how this looks, check out my film "Lego Star Wars: The Force Unleashed". It's more of a test than a film, but check it out.
I use Gimp, I think its pretty easy, free and affective.
