I just bought a Samsung newest 4K HDR Quantum dot TV along with their newest 4K HDR blu ray player. I also bought BBC Planet Earth II feature 4K HDR disc. Needless to say. I am absolutely love the 4K HDR footage. My question here is, has anyone have successfully author 4K blu ray disc or 4K HDR disc? Care to share your secret?

Hi
I think currently authoring software for 4K discs is very expensive and limited.
As most TVs/4K players are happy playing media files, it's just a case of rendering out a HEVC file or even H264 and just playing that, the end result is the same in terms of image quality, of course no fancy menus etc.

That‘s true and I think there will be no real change for low budget in the future. At least I ‘need’ the functionality of chapters to jump to. Currently I insert them from the Vegas markers output with drax. It would be very nice if Vegas pro would insert them directly into the *.mp4 output.
You probably have to schedule a meeting to "assess your requirements" before even getting a quotation for the software that can do this. There's also this available for a few thousand Euros.
If it ever happens, I bet TMPGEnc Authoring Works will be one of the first to make affordable software that can do it.
A Google for "uhd blu ray authoring" turns up a few discussions including this.
Thank you everyone for your inputs. Much appreciated. I will just have to wait perhaps a couple more yrs, software will be available to us to author 4K blu ray disc.
