is there a way with MeGui to assure that i can playback the file ?
Don't use QPel, don't use GMC, and use maximum 1 B-frame. I'm not sure on the packed bitstream, that (but other things as well) depend on which player you have. Unfortunately you cannot limit bitrate buffers in mencoder, and thus MeGUI so if the buffers cause problems for you, then I'm afraid you have to stick to the VfW or use the lavc codec where you can control max bitrate and buffer size.

if i use Automated 2 pass where can i set the desired size?
You need to use the auto-mode. You don't even have to set the encoding mode with that, just configure the rest of the options.
