How can I make 4K mp4s?
I've gathered that .mp4 seems to be the preferred format for viewing stereoscopic 3D vids with headsets like DK2 and gear, and I've been having success with that, except when it comes to image size. ...

If you have Adobe Creative Cloud you can use the Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 (latest version but previous still works) to output an H.264 mp4 file. I send my renders from AE directly to AME using the "Composition" menu and choosing "Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue".
edit: I've had great results outputting to 3840 x 1920 (4096 x 2048 videos stutter) as per Carmack's suggestion.
That's what I use as well. But as I said above, neither Adobe Media Encoder nor After Effects will render an h.264 with a vertical dimension over 2048. That's fine for mono 360 videos but for stereoscopic, you need to stack them which means you need to get the vertical resolution as high as possible.
(Milk VR announced that they will soon be accepting community-created content and they mentioned their max specs for 3D 360 videos is 4096x4096 h.264. So there's got to be a dang way to make such a thing!)
