I think what confuses you, Headbanger, is that the guy in the video is speaking about (at least) two different angles.
What he really tries to say is basically two things:
1. The pick should be perpendicular to the body of the guitar, so that there is little or no difference between down- and upstrokes. He uses the term "neutral", which makes kind of sense, but you should ignore "parallel to the strings".
2. The pick should make a 45 degree angle to the strings (this contradicts the pick being parallel to the strings!!!), so that when you hit the string
you hit it with an edge of the pick rather than with a flat side.
Hope this helps.

Yeah Hungry thats what I found confusing.No.2 makes sense. No. 1 ..I still don't understand which angle he says should be perpendicular.
The fact is, I don't really have any problems...(I dont think) I just wondered what was being said. and that why I asked darius or another instructor could they post a diagram or pics of these two angles to make clearer sense.
I think the perpendicular angle must refer to not holding the end of the pick down/up toward the bottom/top of guitar body?

Could You amke a right hand recordins with the camera angle similar to what i do in my slow parts of lessons? I very curious to see how Your hand works with details. Maybe I could advice something or just say that everything is ok
I'm doing something speciall about alternate picking but it takes some time to make it nice and clear ... be patient
I'll look at your slow parts of lessons...now that I can again (I just renewed my membership and I couldn't see much on here before).
